SI's archives program ranked No. 2 by U.S. News & World Report

"Students will be prepared to apply archival concepts and techniques to establish intellectual and physical control over historical materials that have become disarranged as a result of the ravages of time, neglect, technological obsolescence, or inappropriate human intervention. They may also be applied prospectively in the design of information systems to support records integrity and authenticity, access, and long-term preservation."
Margaret Hedstrom
Associate Professor
